S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear sky has been nominated for the 2008 most atmospheric game award. You can click on here to vote for it. If you don't vote, I'll send my pet Snork after you. Seriously. Have you ever played through a game whose world seemed so real and alive that you felt as though you were a part of it? A strong, compelling atmosphere is as...
This news may be a little old, but its a good one none the less. The guys over at 1Up have been following the "Demake" Indie Game scene for a while. It's where you take a current game and make it retro, as if you were playing in on the NES or Atari 2600. S.T.A.C.K.E.R. focuses on item collection and management via Tetris-like stacking, and using your e...
The man with way too much free time has done it again, with an excellent tweak guide for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky that will get your game running beautifully with minimal FPS impact. Since STALKER: Clear Sky is not dramatically different to the original STALKER in many respects, much of the customization and tweaking advice in Clear Sky is the same as tha...
They guys over at PCGames Hardware have been playing around with Clear Sky and have done some DX10 benchmarks for the game. If you want to play Stalker: Clear Sky with all details in DX 10 a t a resolution of 1,680 x 1,050, you will have to use a multi GPU solution. If you don't need high framerates you can do with Geforce GTX 280 or a Radeon HD 4870. At...
As some of you know, certain parts of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Community (and the general gaming community) are not big fans of the STARForce Protection system. It has been known to literally kill computers and cause other problems. STALKER Hispano is reporting that the World Wide Editions of Clear Sky will be using the TAGES Protection System (The Russian version...
Our friends over at STALKERHispano have an interesting "movement" going on. Certain versions of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky will be using the controversial StarForce Protection system (As far as I know the English versions of the game use SecureRom) and that has made a lot of people unhappy. Learn more about StarForce here. Hi guys, I want to advice you g...
If you know Russian and want the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky experience, you can now pre-order the Russian Collectors edition of the game from Ozon.ru. As you may know, the Collectors Edition is a EUROPE ONLY thing (Yes, I am sad too) so this may be the only way you can get some of the goodies (or what for a UK version, at least it'll be in English)...

For those of you who don't know a group of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans and admins/staff from various S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sites (all from Europe though) got a opportunity of a lifetime recently. They were given the chance to visit GSC Game World in Kiev and take a tour of "The Zone" (Pardon me while I drool on my keyboard - FFxSTALKERx) Well, after some delay the guys...
The guys over at 1up put up their latest podcast and they talk about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky. How is S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky similar to French rap? The GFW Radio regulars (minus Jeff Green, plus Robert Ashley) make this and many other tenuous connections on this week's podcast. Ryan discusses the innocent joys of Lego Indiana Jones, while Robert and Sh...
GSC Game World recently gained the official nod from Microsoft to become a developer for the Xbox360. What does this mean for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans? Not sure right now, as there have been no mention of any development of a game set in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe for the 360. We will keep you updated though. Source: CVG
According to our friends over at Oblivion-Lost.net the destroyed reactor #4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Planet is going to get a new sarcophagus to protect against another disaster if the current sarcophagus collapses. 21 years ago, when the gaping hole in block 4 of the nuclear powerplant in Chernobyl was sealed with a simple concrete sarcophagus und...
